Questions
Good to know
When is my APK due?
The due date is on your registration card and in the RDW records. Petrol cars need their first APK four years after registration, diesel and LPG cars after three. We send a reminder six weeks before the date if you are a customer.
Does servicing here void my manufacturer warranty?
No. Under EU rules any qualified workshop may service your car during the warranty period, as long as it follows the manufacturer's schedule and uses parts of matching quality. We stamp your service book or update the digital record.
What if my car fails the APK?
You get a list of the points that failed and a quote to fix them. Most repairs are done the same day, and the retest is free within 30 days.
Can I wait while you work?
Yes, for an APK or small service. The waiting room has coffee, wifi and a desk. For longer jobs we lend you a bike, or you can take the train from Sloterdijk.
How can I pay?
Debit card, credit card or a Tikkie link. We do not accept cash.
